At St. Josephine Bakhita Primary School in South Sudan, the children are happy to receive a warm meal with rice and beans every day. Deputy Head Teacher Zachariah Malis Raphael has seen the transformation. Children no longer fall ill, absenteeism is not an issue anymore, and they can concentrate much better in class. This project truly demonstrates the profound impact that your donations have: Our heartfelt thanks go to the German broadcaster WDR for their incredible Christmas fundraising campaign for Aktion Deutschland Hilft e.V. last year. We’re especially grateful to Schuhhaus Klauser GmbH & Co. KG, who took this initiative as an opportunity to make a generous contribution to our school meal project in South Sudan. Thanks to this support, we’re able to continue providing vital assistance to children in need.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza is catastrophic. Some aid has reached people in recent days – but it is far from enough. Relief supplies need to be distributed in a targeted and organized way, especially to those who need them most: people with disabilities, children, the elderly, and the sick. Plentiful, safe, and dignified aid is needed. Now. Speak up. Share. Act. Support humanitarian efforts. Donate now: https://lnkd.in/e_VKbTfh #Gaza #MalteserInternational

173 million people urgently need humanitarian #WASH assistance in 2025 - but only 6.6% of the required $3.2 billion has been secured so far. Despite its centrality to survival and public health, WASH remains one of the least funded sectors in humanitarian response. In 2025, only 6.6% of the required $3.2 billion has been secured - leaving millions without access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene. That’s why the Global WASH Cluster, the WASH Road Map, and partners have launched the 2025 Call to Action for Survival and Resilient WASH. As a member of the Global WASH Cluster, we have signed this appeal and join their call. Let’s protect water as a human right and a lifesaving asset.

📢 Did you know? Every 30 seconds, someone in the world dies from a hepatitis-related illness -even though most types are preventable or treatable. Today is World Hepatitis Day, and we want to help raise awareness about this disease. Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver caused by a variety of infectious viruses and noninfectious agents. Five hepatitis viruses - hepatitis A, B, C, D and E - can infect humans and cause hepatitis. Hepatitis B and C can lead to chronic infection, increasing the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer. Treatment and prevention is available, such as an effective cure for hepatitis C and vaccines for hepatitis B. By strengthening health facilities through training, diagnostics, and infrastructure, and by promoting access to primary care, we help lay the foundation for improved prevention, testing, and treatment of infectious diseases – including hepatitis. 💪 📷 The image is symbolic and does not depict hepatitis treatment. #WorldHepatitisDay #HealthForAll #EndHepatitis #GlobalHealth #MalteserInternational #DidYouKnow

We’ve got a video message from South Sudan! See what Khamisa has to share with us. Khamisa had to flee her home country Sudan due to the war and now lives in a refugee camp in the outskirts of the South Sudanese capital Juba. Access to clean water here is a major challenge. Thanks to funding from Auswärtiges Amt (Federal Foreign Office) Germany, we’ve been able to make a real difference: ✅ Drilled and built 2 solar-powered water systems ✅ Installed 5 water collection points ✅ Promoting hygiene awareness in the camp ✅ Constructed a handpump in the nearby host community Every drop counts - and so does your support: https://lnkd.in/ejxJRjcj #SouthSudan #HumanitarianAid #CleanWater #WithRefugees #MalteserInternational

Pakistan is home to approximately 1.5 million registered Afghan refugees — women, men, and children seeking safety and stability. Among them is Shafique Khan, who lives in Utmanzai, a refugee camp near the Afghan border. Life in the camp is incredibly challenging. The inadequate drainage system leads to the spread of infectious diseases, putting already vulnerable families at even greater risk. That’s why Shafique is deeply grateful for the free medical care available at the local Basic Health Unit. The unit also provides essential prenatal support for expectant mothers. 🙏Support our work now: https://lnkd.in/eJdDjxWR #SupportRefugees #StandWithRefugees #Pakistan #Afghanistan #HealthForAll #DonateNow #MalteserInternational
